Hi Max Did you use the sorting/grouping option of the _report_ and left the source unsorted: SELECT * FROM LotterySpring2008; /gustav >>> max.wanadoo at gmail.com 17-03-2008 10:52 >>> Hi Gustav, Generally I accept what you are saying. But, no matter what I do, I cannot get the report to have the same ORDER as the Form. The query is SELECT * FROM LotterySpring2008 ORDER BY LotterySpring2008.Mailsort; The Query is called qryReportDataTemp. The contents is dynamically created from code where the tablename changes based on the user requirements. The SOURCE for the Form is qryReportDataTemp The SOURCE for the Report is also qryReportDataTemp No filters, etc applied. The Form shows records in correct order. The Report does not. Even if, as you suggest, I use the sorting/grouping option and explicitly state "Mailsort" Ascending. The ORDER of the records display in the report is NOT the same ORDER as those display in the FORM or that which is shown if you open the QUERY directly. It appears to me that there is a different ENGINE driving the Report.
